GRADING REQUIREMENTS AS PER JUDO FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA (JFA) GRADING MANUAL

New grading procedures

The state judo body - Judo Federation of Australia (JFA) ACT made a decision at its February 07 meeting to align ACT grading procedures to JFA requirements. In a practical sense it means that I will need to issue all graded players with the official JFA certificate. Only registered JFA players are to be issued with the certificates.

From now on, all players competing in sanctioned JFA (and JFA.ACT) tournaments held in the ACT will have to present their Registration Books at the weigh-in for current registration and grading verification. I will be providing a copy of the Registrar's Report to the organising committee at these tournaments for confirmation purposes.

Kyu grade requirements

A grading can only be awarded if:

• the candidate has a proper judo uniform;
• the candidate is a registered member of the JFA and
• all grading requirements have been satisfied.
